The Doolittle (De Dolietta) family is small. Always has been. Always has been martial.

But my favorite of the few historical records in literature is a story of a pikeman who, tired of listening to the complaints of one of his fellows on guard duty, without warning, without words, without emotion killed him in the midst of his fellow soldiers. Saying only that it needed doing for a long time and it was done.

Ack.
